Dr Roberts Waterhole (Girraween National Park)

Easy
1.4km return

Last venue on our two week bushwalking road trip and we have another five walks to tick off today, before we head home to the Sunshine Coast. Could not get very excited about this waterhole.
Underground Creek (Girraween National Park)

Medium
3.8km return
105 mins
Although this was fun to scramble up over the boulders, it had been very dry of late and there was little or no water running.
The Junction (Girraween National Park)
5 Nov, 2017
Easy
5.6km return
90 mins
A great little walk and because it had not rained, I was able to crisscross the creek as I wended my way down. The following morning, after a horrendous overnight thunder storm, which included a lightning strike on the Pyramid, saw the creek full and running fast with no access across from the camp site.
The Pyramid (Girraween National Park)
5 Nov, 2017
Hard
3.8km return
2 hrs
Scary or what! How do you climb up or down with nothing to hang on too? With two little ones, we really had to take our time on this one, as one slip and you were gone.
Granite Arch (Girraween National Park)
5 Nov, 2017
Easy
1.7km return
30 mins
Easy to combine this on the way back from The Pyramid, as it was all downhill!
This was our last walk over a two week road trip with the grandchildren out from the Sunshine Coast to Dubbo and back. Final tally was 26 walks covering 70km. Wow.
Sawn Rocks (Mount Kaputar National Park)
4 Nov, 2017
Easy
1.6km return
45 mins
This was a 'bucket' list item on our November 17 road trip and we were not disappointed. Must have spent more time climbing over and admiring the structures than it took us to walk in!
Mount Coryah (Mount Kaputar National Park)
3 Nov, 2017
Medium
4km return
2 hrs
The challenge today is to complete as many of Mount Kaputar's walks as possible. We have earmarked seven, so let's see how we do!
This is probably the longest and hardest for the kids, but kept them amused by getting them to work out how old the various Grass Trees were. Great view of the Western Escarpment from the top.
Euglah Rock Lookout (Mount Kaputar National Park)
3 Nov, 2017
Easy
600m return
15 mins
It's a great day when you can take four different walks, covering the north, south, east and west of Mt Kaputar and enjoy a different aspect each time.
The Governor (Mount Kaputar National Park)
3 Nov, 2017
Easy
2km return
1 hr
By far our best walk of the day. Just sitting on top of The Governor, with a sheer drop off in front of you and an outlook across the northern part of Mount Kaputar NP to die for.
Eckford Lookout (Mount Kaputar National Park)
3 Nov, 2017
Easy
1.8km return
1 hr
Could not get very excited about this one, but if it is there, then you just got to walk it. Think we are now up to walk four for the day, with four to go.
Lindsay Rock Tops (Mount Kaputar National Park)
3 Nov, 2017
Easy
2km return
45 mins
We really enjoyed this one, not only because of the different landscape and adding stones to the cairns, but also the view out to Mt Lindsey to the east and valleys to the south.
Mt Dowe (Mount Kaputar National Park)
3 Nov, 2017
Easy
1.3km return
30 mins
Not very inspiring and if we had know that there was no views from the top and only a communications tower, we would not have walk up.
Mt Kaputar (Mount Kaputar National Park)
3 Nov, 2017
Easy
3km return
75 mins
As we were staying at Dawsons Spring Campground for a couple of nights, this was an easy walk out of camp to the summit of Mt Kaputar.
Dawsons Spring Nature Trail (Mount Kaputar National Park)
3 Nov, 2017
Easy
1.4km return
30 mins
After trekking around the park all day, this was the 8th and final walk of the day, that circumnavigated Dawsons Creek Campground, where we were staying, before a well deserved beer.
Sandstone Caves (Pilliga Nature Reserve)
2 Nov, 2017
Easy
2.3km return
1 hr
This is a little hidden gem, receiving very little promotion, due to its Aboriginal heritage. But so, so worth a visit if you are in the area.
